In the days since the Biden administration announced plans to expand Title IX’s federal protection to include sexual orientation and gender identity for the first time, local advocates and allies of the Bay Area’s young LGBTQ+ community are preparing to push for even more.
“Oh my god. I’m so excited Betsy Devos’ stupid policies will be removed!” said Gabrielle Antolovich, board president of the Billy DeFrank LGBTQ+ Community Center in San Jose, when they heard the news on June 23.
